A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Care Bear...

AKA Kerri Beth...
Kerri is my sister who is 2 years younger than me, she is the middle girl in our family... She is an awesome sister, here's why...

She is an awesome Aunt and loves my boys so much. If anything happens to Alex and I she will be raising our boys.

Growing up we shared a room for quite a few years. She was a total slob! I had to tape a line down the room so her messiness wouldn't be on my 1/2.

Her and I would torment Kelly (our baby sister). We had Kelly believing she was adopted cause she had brown hair and Kerri and I had blonde. Ohhh we were mean. We use to hold Kelly by the feet and dangle her down the stairs too...

I loved coming home from a date, jumping on her bed, sitting on her feet - she always complained about that - and telling her about my night.

She was my maid of honor. The night before I got married my parents house was full of visiting family so I stayed at her condo and she gave her bed to me for the night and slept on the couch.

When I had Justin she took a week off work to come help me and give Nic some special attention.

She took Nic to build a bear just before Justin was born to make him a special bear and to let Nic make a special bear for his new brother.

When we lived in CT she would "borrow" Nic for an Auntie visit, they would go rent a movie and buy junk food, build a fort and hang out.

She has a total shoe problem!

She loves scary movies and laughs at the wierdest things.

When Alex was sick she took 2 weeks vacation and flew out here to watch my boys.

She hates to cook - literally!!! Check out her fridge some day.

She is shy, quiet, down to earth, rational, and funny.

Thanks for sharing!!! I like to get to know your family, even if I don't really meet them in person. Your sister sounds like a great friend as well as a sister.

(My sister Amy gave me a bracelet that says "A sister is a forever friend." Isn't it the best when that's the case?)
